Our conversation with Jake Barlow, a CBS News cameraman based in Chicago, was weird, wild, and wonderful. Some topics covered were death tours, "The Sticker," on the road with Barack Obama, room tone directed by Martin Scorsese, expendable rental cars, and much more. So sit down, strap in, and enjoy the show. Just don't go to a hurricane with him.
